He's actually responding to the least "tin foil hat" part of your post. You should actually thank him for letting you off so easily!
Perhaps the Quebecers need to learn how to read? Nowhere on this thread have I claimed that Montreal is not growing or that people are not moving there. There is nothing "tin foil hat" about my expression of curiosity about why someone would want to move to Quebec, and sharing my experience with ma famille française.

We can read just fine. Even in our second language (for most of us)!
Now, I think that's overstating it a bit. However, I think Montreal and Quebec are dysfunctional to a point where I do have to wonder why someone would want to move to Montreal unless they had a particularly compelling opportunity or family tie to draw them. Montreal and Quebec are not like a Vancouver or Los Angeles or New York where people flock to in order to make a dream come true.
Can't leave us hanging like this. Dysfunctional in what way? I'm genuinely curious, as some of these things are blind to inhabitants.

What exactly are you trying to say? Montreal receives more immigrants per year than Vancouver.
Montreal is also a more cosmopolitan city than Vancouver.
And... What would compel an immigrant from DR, Haiti, or North Africa to move to Vancouver or LA? Montreal is their first pick in North America, and for many reasons.
You're not making sense. What does Vancouver have that Montreal doesn't have?
Vancouver is a beautiful city but it is the last place I would go in North America to reach the American or Canadian dream. Middle class people can't even afford a house in that city anymore, while in Montreal it is still very possible for a middle class family to purchase a house. At least for a working class family that wants to get a head, Montreal is still a great place to live. There is more industry in Montreal and University education is also more affordable.
